Heads Up

Hospitals will lose billions today. Why isn't anyone talking about it?

It isn't an April Fool's joke, although hospitals may wish it were: Under the sequester, Medicare cuts totaling about $10 billion finally kick in today.

For months, providers had waged a lobbying battle trying to prevent this outcome. As part of that campaign, state and national associations released a flurry of dire reports, showing that facilities would see real pain from sequestration.

    Wisconsin's hospitals will collectively lose $2 million per week.
    In Florida, the average hospital will lose $8 million across the next decade.
    And per the American Hospital Association, the sequester could even cost more than 750,000 health care jobs.

Hope none of us "oldsters" or those on disability need  medical care soon!  :o



If I put this in the wrong place, feel free to move it.

Found this from the Colorado Business Journal

So people aren't being kicked off medicare, but the hospitals reimbursment rate just took a hit.
